Former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad has said that it’s disrespectful to ask ex-Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to resign within 48 hours.
Ahmad said Obi gave LP national relevance, adding that the
party’s current momentum is because of him.
The Julius Abure-led LP had issued a 48-hour ultimatum to
Obi to leave the party or be expelled.
Abure’s leadership said it is vehemently opposed to joining
the coalition while dismissing members of the coalition as “power mongers whose
only interest was self and not the people.”
Reacting, Ahmad posted on X: “I am not a fan of Peter Obi or
his ideologies, but let’s be honest, it is incredibly disrespectful for the
Labour Party to ask him to resign from the party within hours. It is utterly
ungrateful.
“No exaggeration, but at least 75% of the party’s current
base and momentum exist because of him.
“His entry gave the party national relevance. You don’t
treat the person who built your house like a visitor.”
Obi is currently one of the key players in the opposition
coalition which adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
